Like the answer before mine, I am assuming that you are talking about wireless networking.
Not all wireless cards are supported in Linux because the companies that make them do not provide drivers. That said, if you don't mind spending a bit of money (about $20 US) a company called Linuxant can get a large number of wireless cards to work in Linux.
The biggest thing you need to do is find out the type of wireless card you have. Until that is known, no one will be able to help you.

I'm not sure what you mean by "wirefree", but if you're talking about wireless networking - otherwise known as WiFi - then all of the up-to-date distributions support it. Personally I have used Ubuntu, but you should have no problem with Suse, Red Hat, Debian etc.
